Real Madrid Targets Cristian Romero: Summer Transfer Rumors Heat Up

Real Madrid Eyes Cristian Romero for Summer Transfer

Real Madrid is reportedly considering a summer move for Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero. The 26-year-old, who was part of Argentina's 2022 World Cup-winning squad, is seen as a "concrete possibility" for Los Blancos as they prioritize strengthening their defense. According to TEAMtalk, Romero's potential transfer is gaining momentum, with Real Madrid also looking at Spurs right-back Pedro Porro as an alternative to Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Newcastle United's Interest in Randal Kolo Muani

Newcastle United is keeping a close eye on on-loan Juventus striker Randal Kolo Muani. The 26-year-old, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, is on the Magpies' shortlist as a potential replacement for Alexander Isak, who might leave St. James' Park in the summer. However, Newcastle could face competition from other Premier League clubs, and Kolo Muani is reportedly open to staying in Turin if Juventus secures Champions League qualification.

Bayern Munich's Top Priority: Florian Wirtz

Bayern Munich has identified Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Florian Wirtz as their top priority for the summer transfer window. Sky Sports Deutschland's Florian Plettenberg reports that the Bundesliga club is planning several moves, with Wirtz being the primary target. The 21-year-old has also been linked with Manchester City, but Bayern is keen to secure his signature before pursuing other targets, including Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens.

Arsenal, Liverpool, and PSG Tracking Malick Fofana

Arsenal, Liverpool, and Paris Saint-Germain are all monitoring the progress of Lyon winger Malick Fofana. The 19-year-old Belgium international has been impressive this season, scoring nine goals and registering five assists in 34 appearances. Fofana's contract with Lyon runs until 2028, but he could be available this summer for a fee of €50m.

Inter Milan's Interest in Alex Meret

Internazionale is reportedly interested in Napoli goalkeeper Alex Meret. According to Rudy Galetti, the Nerazzurri are the only club to have expressed interest in the 27-year-old so far. Meret has started 25 of 28 matches in Serie A this season, but with just over three months remaining on his current deal, his future at Napoli remains uncertain.
